Hoax Email Fools Celebrities!!!

Former IPL chief Lalit Modi fell for it. So did TV host Mandira Bedi, singer Shreya Ghoshal, filmmaker Tarun Mansukhani and actors Uday Chopra and Sameera Reddy.

All these people, and several others on Monday celebrated on Twitter the naming ofJana Gana Mana as the “world’s best national anthem” by the UNESCO. Only that it turned out to be a hoax.

The news, which started doing the rounds through a spam email, was tweeted by many celebs. Both Modi and Mansukhani posted, “Proud to be Indian.”

Modi soon rectified their mistake. “Told the unesco voting is a rumour. Nevertheless, I feel we have the best anthem,” he said. Bedi, too, echoed, “I love my national anthem. It does deserve to be top of any list & if there has been no such poll to put us there, maybe there should be!”

While Reddy tried to check from her Twitter followers whether the news was true, Ghoshal apologised to hers on learning the truth. “It seems the national anthem thing is a hoax. Apologies to all.”

Star Ananda To Felicitate The Best Of Bengal!!!

It was famously said that what Bengal thinks today, the rest of India thinks tomorrow. The state has been a playing field for visionaries who emerged as thought leaders and have shown the way to rest of the countrymen. The state has given the nation luminaries whose achievements are woven into a tapestry by their excellence. STAR Ananda, Bengal’s leading news channel celebrates this excellence through Sera Bangali. Sera Bangali is a pioneering effort by STAR Ananda since 2006 for Indians in general and Bengalis in particular. This biggest, best and most credible award function felicitates eminent personalities who have achieved excellence in diverse fields of interests. After runaway success of past 4 years, Bengal is now ready to welcome 2010 Sera Bangalis. This year the celebrations will be held on 9th July 2010, at Science city auditorium, Kolkata.
Past Sera Bangalis have included luminaries like Pranab Mukherjee- Minister of Finance, Dr Muhammad Yunus- Economist and winner of Nobel Peace Prize, Sourav Ganguly, Mithun Chakraborty, Rahul Bose and Anurag Basu. The entertainment that follows the award function has seen performances by distinguished artists like Abhijit, Shaan, Tanushree Dutta, Koena Mitra. This Year singer Shreya Ghoshal will enchant the audience with her performance.
The ground event last year had more than 3000 visitors while on-air this number multiplied to 37 lac delivering a TVR of 1.33 as against the average of 0.24. During the event the audience gets glued to the TV sets, which is reflected in the astonishing 74% market share (Source: TAM, CS 15+, 10th July 09, West Bengal). The 360 degree integrated communication plan ensures enough hype leading to the function and coverage across TV, print, radio and outdoors.
STAR Ananda plays the role of the true leader by connecting these luminaries with the people. This is in accordance with the channel’s aim of reflecting and catalyzing the growth and resurgence of Bengal and also celebrating excellence.

 Sabhi Duriya Faasale
Aa Dil Mila Le Aur Paas Aa
Phir Kya Ho Kya Khabar Dekha Hain Kisne Kal
Aa Raat Rok Le Phir Ho Na Jaaye Sehar
Phir Kya Ho Kya Khabar Dekha Hain Kisne Kal
Aa Raat Rok Le Phir Ho Na Jaaye Sehar

Chaand Pehlu Mein Aake Raat Mulaayam Hone Lagi
Aaj Shaayad Hawa Zara Sa Nasha Hain
Ya Hain Kisiki Jaadugari
Kaisa Sitam Hain Paagal Yeh Mann Hain
Marr Jaane Ko Bol Raha
Phir Kya Ho Kya Khabar Dekha Hain Kisne Kal
Aa Raat Rok Le Phir Ho Na Jaaye Sehar
Phir Kya Ho Kya Khabar Dekha Hain Kisne Kal
Aa Raat Rok Le Phir Ho Na Jaaye Sehar

Teri Saanson Ki Shabnami Khushbu Ko
 Apani Saanson Se Palbhar Chhu Le Zara
Ek Baar Surmai Teri Inn Ankhon Mein Jee Le Zara
Sab Kuchh Bhula Do Phir Se Pukaaron
Inn Hothon Se Naam Mera
Phir Kya Ho Kya Khabar Dekha Hain Kisne Kal
Aa Raat Rok Le Phir Ho Na Jaaye Sehar
Phir Kya Ho Kya Khabar Dekha Hain Kisne Kal
Aa Raat Rok Le Phir Ho Na Jaaye Sehar

Ek Pal Ke Liye Hi Sahi Ghadiya Hamko Mili
 Makhmali Pyar Ki
Iss Ek Pal Ko Jee Le Zara
Lamhe Yeh Phir Mile Na Mile Kho Jaane
 De Sabhi Duriya Faasale
Aa Dil Mila Le Aur Paas Aa
Phir Kya Ho Kya Khabar Dekha Hain Kisne Kal
Aa Raat Rok Le Phir Ho Na Jaaye Sehar
Phir Kya Ho Kya Khabar Dekha Hain Kisne Kal
Aa Raat Rok Le Phir Ho Na Jaaye Sehar

May 14, 2010 (Washington Bangla Radio) Ogo Bodhu Sundori (2010) is a new Kolkata Bengali film starring acclaimed singer Babul Supriyo a leading movie hero role for the first time, paired with beautiful Tollywood actresses Sreelekha Mitra and Monami Ghosh. The 2010 adaptation of the 1980 Uttam Kumar-Sumitra Mukherjee-Moushumi Chatterjee classic is directed by Sunando Mitra. The release date of the film is June 4, 2010.

The 1980 movie Ogo Badhu Sundori  remains a Bengali film classic, and was directed by Salil Dutta and starred Uttam Kumar, Moushmi Chatterjee, Sumitra Mukherjee, Santosh Dutta, Ranjit Mullik, Bikash Roy and others. Bappi Lahiri's music from the 1980 film remains unforgettable. Bappi Lahiri is also the director of the 2010 adaptation. The songs remain the same, but rendered by Alka Yagnik, Shreya Ghoshal, Anwesha and the hero Babul Supriyo himself. The soundtrack OST of Ogo Bodhu Sundori (2010) has been released by WBRi Washington Bangla Radio's partner INRECO

From Reality Shows To Playback Stardom!!!

Shreya Ghoshal is all excited about 'Raavan' and talks
 to Shankaran Malini about music industry, her big
 inspirations and things that she likes.

Growing up with music

 I spent about 13 years of my childhood in Rawatbhata, a small
 village near  Kota, Rajasthan. It was a township, which was cut off
 from the urban city life. I used to travel 10 KM up and down to Kota 
to learn music. I learnt classical Hindustani there. In fact, one of my initial 
achievements was at this place. I was nine years old then. I didn’t get the
 opportunity to learn Carnatic music. Then 'Sa Re Ga Ma' gave me a lot
 of exposure. But my first big break was singing for 'Devdas'.

Inspiration from family

My mom is a housewife and my dad an engineer. We Bengalis
 simply love music. My mother has been my musical inspiration and
 even today I look up to her opinion — be it criticism or appreciation. 
I need her guidance forever. But my dad silently appreciates me and
 whatever I am today is because of him.  

Reality shows — then and now?

When I won 'Sa Re Ga Ma', the platform didnt actually become a reality show. 
It wasn’t that big or commercial. There wasn’t an audience reaction like today.
 TV itself was not that big those days. Judges in such shows used to be big
 names from classical music such as Zakir Hussain, Girija Devi and the like.
 But now the format has changed a lot. People from all over the world watch
 these shows, therefore the reach is bigger. Audiences make heroes out of 
their singers. I believe that the scope for classical music still exists, 
which I realised when I was doing 'Music Ka Maha Muqabla'.

Your take on mobile auditions

It is yet another platform which is commercially beneficiary to audiences.
 I feel it’s a good move. And as we live in a fast paced world, innovation
 is the key to success. There was a time when audio cassettes were popular 
and then audio CDs took over. But now it is the age of Internet downloads
 and mobile downloads.

Your take on remixes

I haven’t done a remix song as yet although some songs of mine have been remixed. Honestly I liked the original versions better. I'm okay with doing a remix as long as it enhances the song. I feel music enthusiasts do a fantastic job with remixes.

Is the music industry’s still a man’s world?

I would not completely agree with it. It’s a phase. Currently, it is Sufi
 music that is the trend and that is a male-dominated area. But things
 will not be the same forever.

About being a versatile singer

All that I can say is I pay close attention to the music director and lyricist
 when the concept and situation of a song is being explained. I write down 
the lyrics in Devanagri marking all the places with required accents.
 I try my best to sing it as perfectly as possible. But there have been 
occasions when I have made mistakes and I read the reviews on the
 Internet. I only try to improve myself.

Current projects

My next in Tamil will be 'Endhiran' and 'I Hate Luv Stories' in Hindi.

Role Model

My role model has always been Lataji.

Music director you want to work with?

Harris Jeyaraj. I have sung for 'Anniyan', one of his projects. 
 It so happened that whenever a possibility of a project would come up
 with him, it would not materialise owing to some reason or the other.

Would love to playback for?

Waheeda Rehman. How I wish I could sing for those B/W movies of hers.

AR Rahman

For me he has always been iconic and always full of surprises.
 It was for 'Enakku 20 Unakku 18' when I sang 'Azhagiya Askava'. 
That was my foray in Tamil. After that, it was only for 'Sillunu Oru Kadhal'
 that I sang 'Munbe Vaa', which went on to become a hit. Following that
 'Vinnaithadi Varuvaya' and now 'Raavan'. He never repeats genres
 in his works and is the only music director whom I have seen working late
 till night. I have enjoyed working with him. I admire his patience. 
Thanks to him, I have experimented with so many genres.  

Chennai

I am in awe of the music, the singers and music directors of the city.
 That apart, whenever I am here, I visit Saravana Bhavan and eat idlis
 and chutneys from Murugan Idli Kadai. I love the Chettinadu cuisine here.

Rapid Fire:

Can’t live without: My phone, just switched loyalties with Blackberry

Most prized possession: It’s an old Harmonium that I first used
 when I started to learn music.

Favourite show: How I met Your Mother

Style statement: A pair of jeans and white shirt

Fitness mantra: Treadmill and cardio.

Love to dig into: Thai cuisine, followed by Bengali cuisine and Kongunadu

What are you humming at the moment:

'Jo Dil Mein Kushi', a Lataji and Hemant Kumar composition — my all-time favourite

Favourite book: Jhumpa Lahiri’s The Namesake and The Unaccustomed Earth

Unforgettable lesson at school: It used to be the little quarrels during my school days. I was both the noisemaker and the newsmaker

Your biggest fear: Music should never become a burden

Favourite singers: P Susheela and S Janaki

Lyricists : Gen X lyricists are doing a great job

If not a playback singer: I'd have become a scientist
